I'd guess at the AT91SAM7S256, the ST type has a lot of stuff
that isn't needed (CAN, smartcard interface, HDLC interface)
and 16K extra flash which aren't mentioned in the LEGO press release.
See http://www.keil.com/dd/chip/3809.htm and
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc6054.pdf
Also take a look at the Handy Board 2, they also use ATMEL,
and a second PIC processor for LCD and motor control,
so there are some similarities.

Have fun
